buggery bollocks.

I wanted this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4510066302

I mentioned to my mum earlier cos she was on the pc, check that matrix, she did, fiver odd it was. The I asked how long, not long so I assumed not long was you know a minute of so, but no it was hours.

I would have won it to if she never messed it up.

So I shall attempt to repair the red cars leaky matrix.

where did you get yours?

I paid 45quid about 3 years back for the 1 I have. Would have paid the same at ren. But the factors was the only place that could get me 1 at the time.

tbh get a new one.

neal you barsteward.

I got one but not valeo and ever since I got it its never been right, never gave off super valeo heat. It originally went into the blue prima, never gave off toasting heat, now its in the 16V its still crap.

Pipes to it are hot, stick your hand down and touch the side of it where the pipes run and your fingers get burnt but the heat outputs cack.

Dunno if theres a tought to dislodge air pocket or what but the heaters cack.

Valeo ones will cook you alive even in winter.

there was a pump I was watching but I wasn't gonna pay more than a tenner. When I last saw it the price was 4.50 or something and 4.50 postage so I just left it.
